Chapter 260: Blocking True Qi and Power of Laws? Useless Against a Mischievous Child
Desolate State City.
The teleportation array suddenly lit up, and three figures, one large and two small, appeared out of thin air.
"Is this Central State?"
Chu Chen surveyed his surroundings, his round eyes filled with curiosity and excitement.
"Have we finally arrived in Central State?"
Chu Xin also looked around, feeling somewhat surreal. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
Since leaving Big Stone Village, although only a few months had passed, their experiences made it seem like a long time had gone by.
The goal they had worked hard for so long was finally reached, yet they could hardly believe it.
"No, this isn't right."
However, the man shook his head with a somber expression, "This is not Central State."
"Not Central State?"
Chu Xin and Chu Chen simultaneously turned to look at him.
"Uncle, how do you know this isn't Central State?" Chu Xin asked curiously.
The man said gravely, "I, I've been to Central State. Normally, taking the State City's teleportation array should have taken us directly to the Imperial City of Central State. But the teleportation array in the Imperial City is much larger than this. Clearly, this is not the Imperial City of Central State."
"So it isn't Central State, did we take the wrong path again?"
Chu Chen's face fell with disappointment, and his cute little brows almost knit together.
"No, it was probably the Deputy Commander of the Thunder State teleportation array guard who played tricks on us. I don't know why he transported us here."
"Then where is this?"
Chu Xin looked around and asked in a low voice.
The man shook his head, "I don't know where this is either."
He thought for a moment, approached the teleportation array guard, and said, "Hello, I want to go to Central State."
The guard did not pay attention to him but looked over Chu Xin and Chu Chen for a while before suddenly saying, "Arrest them all."
The State Governor had issued an order that all children transported from Thunder State be arrested, not one to be spared.
"Run!"
Thinking he was the target, the man shouted loudly and ran outwards.
Chu Xin and Chu Chen, hearing this, also hurriedly followed.
However, nine teleportation array guards moved, blocking the trio's path.
"Set up the Nine Palace Soul-locking Array!"
All nine guards shouted together, forming seals with their hands, and instantly a magical array was formed.
"Dammit! I can't use my True Qi or the Power of Laws."
The man fell from the sky, cursing angrily.
Seeing this, Chu Xin and Chu Chen also descended next to the man; this uncle was a good person, and they couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Mother Uncle, it really is you," Chu Xin said with a grin.
At that moment, since the man could not use his True Qi or the Power of Laws, his altered appearance couldn't be maintained, and he reverted to his original face.
"Wow! Mother Uncle, I just said it was you. I really wasn't wrong," Chu Chen also cooed excitedly.
Despite being trapped in the array, the siblings were not the least bit panicked.
"Mother Uncle?"
Jin Hong was stunned for a moment and looked at these two unfamiliar kids, still not comprehending for a while.
Who are they?
Aside from those two little ones who had helped him escape, he didn't know any other children.
Wait a minute!
They called him Mother Uncle?
Those two kids also mistook him for their mother and rescued him on that account.
Could it be…
Realizing this, Jin Hong finally came to his senses and exclaimed in surprise, "Is it you?"
"Yes, yes, it's us, Auntie Uncle."
Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded vigorously, their faces lit with excitement.
Jin Hong's face revealed a trace of joy. If it was these two little ones, perhaps they still had a chance to escape.
"Auntie Uncle, didn't you say you didn't know how to get to Central State?"
Chu Xin suddenly spoke up.
Jin Hong's face stiffened, and he said awkwardly, "Actually, I was worried that following me would lead to you being hunted by the State Governor of Cangzhou."
It was indeed strange. He expected that the State Governor would send a large number of powerful fighters, or even come personally, to hunt him down, but he had crossed the State Sea without any obstruction.
Little did he know, at that time, the State Governor of Cangzhou was besieging Chu Xin and Chu Chen on Deer Island with seven Martial Emperors and naturally had no time to hunt him down.
Chu Chen blinked his large, innocent eyes and said, "Even if we don't follow you, we're still being hunted."
"Uh, that's true. You took his Blood Pond; he wouldn't just let you off."
Jin Hong also realized this and chuckled awkwardly, changing the topic, "Let's think about how to break the Array. This Nine Palace Soul-locking Array can seal a cultivator's True Qi. The nine guards of the Teleportation Array, who are all Martial Saints, can even lock down the Power of Laws of those inside the Array. In other words, unless one reaches the Martial Emperor Realm, it's impossible to break free from the Array's constraints and one becomes powerless."
"Since you know about the Nine Palace Soul-locking Array, don't think about resisting. Just surrender quietly."
The Commander said smilingly.
Jin Hong looked up at him and asked in a deep voice, "May I ask where is this place? Why have you captured us?"
The Commander casually said, "This place is Desolate State City. As for why we captured you, I do not know."
With that, he performed a sealing gesture, and three chains stretched out from the Array, coiling towards the three of them.
"These are the Spirit-locking Ropes from within the Soul-locking Array, possessing the same effect as the Array. Once bound, we truly can only be slaughtered by others," Jin Hong said softly.
But even knowing the power of the Spirit-locking Ropes, he couldn't use his True Qi or Rule Power at the moment, being just an ordinary person, he could only watch helplessly as the Spirit-locking Ropes attacked him, powerless to stop them.
"It sounds pretty formidable."
Chu Chen blinked his round, big eyes, curiously looking at the three chains.
Chu Xin tilted her little head, whispering, "I wonder if we can limit the Rule Power by arranging this Array with Divine Rune Power?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing that, Chu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. "Sister, I think we can try that, but they surely won't want to teach us how to set up the Array."
"No worries, the State Mansion definitely has it. Once we've emptied the mansion, we'll definitely find it."
Chu Xin waved her hand, and three sword energies tore through the air, shattering the three chains.
Empty the Desolate State Mansion?
Jin Hong's mouth twitched slightly. The State Governor of Desolate State was a Late Stage Martial Emperor; these two kids were really bold.
"You actually aren't affected by the Soul-locking Array?"
The nine guards, seeing the Spirit-locking Rope shattered, were immediately shocked.
The Nine Palace Soul-locking Array had never been escaped by anyone once set. They had captured many Peak Martial Saints with this Array without ever failing.
Unexpectedly, it was ineffective against these audacious kids.
"Is that strange?"
Chu Chen raised his chubby little hand and swung it fiercely; a Sword Energy tore through the air.
Crack!
The Nine Palace Soul-locking Array emitted a crisp sound, showing fine cracks.
"This is bad!"
The nine guards were alarmed. They desperately infused their internal Rule Power, but it was too late.
Boom!
The Nine Palace Soul-locking Array shattered explosively, with the nine guards spitting blood as they were blown back, receiving severe backlash.
"So powerful!"
Jin Hong was astounded. Not only were these kids unaffected by the Nine Palace Soul-locking Array, but they could also destroy the Array with a single strike. Were they even human?
"Let's go!"
However, now wasn't the time to dwell on these matters. It was better to leave this place first.
"Leaving? You aren't going anywhere today."
Just then, a cold snort sounded as terrifying Martial Emperor's Suppression swept over them.
